Has anyone had any experience with this supplement? It's a naturally-occurring substance that appreciably raises levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter primarily responsible for motivation and the feeling of well-being. Supposedly it's effective at countering depression, improving cognition and learning, reducing appetite, and breaking addictions, among other things. It's becoming quite popular among "peak performance"-type people, with a large cohort of self-medicators reporting a very noticeable benefit. Apparently sustained use can desensitize your dopamine receptors, so it's recommended that you cycle on and off. Any personal anecdotes?

Sophie, if you're out there, do you want to weigh in on this one?

With drugs, what goes up must come down. Maxing out dopamine (and other happiness neurotransmitters) means squeezing your brain for them in ways its evolved to be milked. A boost from a long walk, satisfaction of a days work, gym, boost from trolling vinny, and most importantly good sleep.
